Meta-Jewish Law
Question
Is it correct to say that the Written Torah sets out the meta-Jewish law, while the Oral Torah sets out the actual Jewish law in practice?
Answer
In my opinion, no. I’ve written several times that it is almost impossible to learn anything from the Written Torah. Neither Jewish law nor meta-Jewish law.
